Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 562 As long as you catch people fast enough, the conspiracy can't catch up with me
"Gongsun Zhao! Gongsun Zhao! You, you... dare to torture me... I, the Han family, will not let you go!"

In the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, Han Xiu was hung up.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or on purpose, it was at the place where Lu Junyi was hanged before.

The warders who did it were from the same group, and the thick black and red killing sticks with the mouth of the bowl were also from the same style.

So Han Xiu's words sounded harsh, but his tone was almost crying, his two parts were fighting and trembling.

Gongsun Zhao walked in, saw this reaction, directly chose a new killing power stick, and said to the jailer: "The previous one is about to be discounted, change to this one!"

Han Xiu was also very straightforward, and with a click, he drew over.

There was no need to splash cold water on his face, Qiu Yuzuo stepped forward and pinched the person, woke him up, and said with a smile: "Han Langjun, I have offended you."

Han Xiu was still a little dazed: "Presumptuous! What Han Langjun? Are you calling a commoner? When you see this official, you must call him a post!"

Qiu Wu said with a smile: "But you are not Judge Han now. This is back to the Kaifeng government office. It's not easy for everyone to call you the official Han, right?"

Han Xiu came to his senses completely. Looking at those playful gazes, his abdomen suddenly felt cramped. He seemed to have a terminal illness again, and moaned, "I am an officer! My uncle will make the decision for me! I will return to my post as an officer! "

Qiu Wuzuo shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Taoyaofang has already been stolen by people. Just now, the principal, Yiniang, has explained the situation of your collusion with Wuyoudong. Now we can even call you a Korean thief. For Thieves, serving with a killing stick is dignified and upright!"

Han Xiu's face changed suddenly: "I didn't collude with Wuyoudong. As a son of the Han family, how could I associate with those thieves? I don't know anything. I just had a banquet in Taoyaofang at the invitation of General Hou's guild. ..."

Qiu Wuzuo smiled and stepped back. Gongsun Zhao looked at him coldly: "Lu Junyi from the Daming Mansion stayed outside Yongjia County Prince's Mansion. You believe that he is the murderer who murdered the County King. Now you are assisting the criminals in Taoyaofang to resist the crime." Fa, but say you don’t know anything? Han Xiu, do you believe what you say?”

Han Xiu opened his mouth, and suddenly felt that his words were really not convincing, but he could only say sadly: "But I really don't know about Wuyou Cave... I was wronged... I was wronged!"

"Up to the killing power!"

Gongsun Zhao beckoned, and four wardens stepped forward, untied the rope, and pressed him to the execution ground.

Han Xiu struggled desperately: "Gongsun Zhao, you are a good official! You are a good official! You can't believe what those people say, and you can't beat them into tricks. This is unreasonable... Aww!!"

A shrill scream sounded, and the first blow had already fallen.

The jailer was still merciful, after all, this person's status is really unusual, although it may be a good thing to be able to beat the former boss, but they still have to live in Bianjing, so they really dare not offend the children of the Han family.

But even so, after only five blows, a foul smell pervaded the air, Han Xiu was beaten into incontinence, and his psychological defense completely collapsed: "Forgive! Forgive! I say! I can say everything!!"

Under the contemptuous gazes of the guards, Han Xiu raised his head, moaned and said, "I was introduced to Taoyaofang by Langzhong Liu after I was dismissed from office. You can't be the judge..."

Han Xiu has never tried to look at people from this angle, not to mention the standing Gongsun Zhao, even the jailer has become burly and tall, while he himself is as small as dust, and he dare not lie even more. How to plot and calculate, how to promise to take care of Yiniang, and even the details of who is faster and who is slower to enjoy the red card lady.

The prison guards liked to hear the latter kind of stimulation the most, especially when they heard that Lu Shaoqing liked to recite poems and make up the time, they couldn't suppress their smiles.

It would take a few days for the anecdotes of high-ranking officials to race in the streets and alleys of Bianjing.

Gongsun Zhao is not interested in the topic of sex, but through the description in it, he can also judge the authenticity.

Han Xiu really didn't know about the relationship between Taoyaofang and Wuyoudong, but his commitment and protection to this brothel was also a cover for Wuyoudong.

Those who don't know are also guilty!
……

Holding Han Xiu's accusation, Gongsun Zhao led Qiu Yuzuo to the cell next door without stopping.

Inside was Lu Shaoqing, who had taken off his official robe and was being dragged all the way.

Jinshi was born!
Lu Shaoqing looked at the cold-faced judge who walked in, showing deep hatred, but a wave of fear rose in his heart: "Gongsun Zhao, you have no right to judge me!"

Gongsun Zhao said coldly: "The judge is in charge of punishment and prison proceedings. I should have the power, but you forcibly took it away!"

In the Song Dynasty, due to too many officials, multiple branches of government, and overlapping powers, several officials could make up their minds on the same matter, and it was in accordance with the law. If the opinions were not unified, and no one could persuade anyone, what should we do?I can only report it to the higher authorities, and then the officials above discovered that they also have several people who can take care of this matter, and their opinions are not unified, so they report it to the higher authorities...

Theoretically, it is possible to keep mating dolls forever, and even a small matter in the county can be sent to the officials. Of course, it is impossible in practice. Agree on the customary rules, divide and distribute the power of dispatch, and let everyone cut the cake together, so don't fight randomly.

Gongsun Zhao used to only have the ability to solve cases and apprehend them, but not to interrogate and convict him. However, Han Xiu was able to convict Lu Junyi. To put it bluntly, it still depends on the background, whether it is a literati or a vulgar warrior.

What Gongsun Zhao hates the most is that every time he arrests a murderer, those without background are convicted according to law, and those with background are commuted or even released by the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple...

But now, he brought in officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple: "When you regarded the laws of the Song Dynasty as nothing, would you have thought that there would be retribution today? This is Han Xiu's testimony!"

Qiu Yuzuo took the testimony forward, flipped through it and presented it in front of him. Lu Shaoqing looked at it, and his face became more and more ugly.

The discoloration at the beginning was because Han Xiuzhen had said everything, but in the second half, he screamed suddenly: "'I just counted and then died down', how could he know that we are in our respective rooms? No, This is nonsense! Don't insult me ​​like this! Never insult me ​​like this!"

Looking at this hysterical young minister, Qiu Wuzuo had an inexplicable feeling that as long as this testimony was destroyed, he would be willing to confess any crimes.

Literati are not afraid of death, because they will not really die, but they are most afraid of losing their reputation, because that is a real social death.

And the pens of literati are often the most poisonous. They criticize warriors with words and pens, and they will not let go of other literati, because there are only so many officials with real power. Waiting for the superior, so pinching is more ruthless than anyone else.

Gongsun Zhao also saw this, and said directly: "If you plead guilty, this testimony doesn't need to talk about details!"

Lu Shaoqing seemed to be grasping at straws: "Okay! My official said it is, everything is an invitation from the Houjiang Guild..."

……

Arriving at the third cell, Liu Langzhong was waiting for the rescue from above. Seeing Gongsun Zhao and Qiu Wuzuo walk in, he took the lead and said, "Where's Fan Zhige?"

Gongsun Zhao said bluntly: "Fan Zhige is sick and recuperating at home, and now I am in charge of the Kaifeng Mansion!"

Liu Langzhong changed color.

As far as the Kaifeng government office is concerned, Gongsun Zhao, the magistrate's immediate boss, really only has the magistrate Fan Chunli.

Of course, in the actual position, there should be a general judge, as the deputy of the magistrate, the full name is "Tong San Kaifeng government affairs", responsible for litigation, grain transportation, family land, water conservancy and other matters, in fact, it can manage everything, and Kaifeng government The official document must also be signed by the prefect, the general judge, and the official in order to take effect.

This system is mainly to prevent the power of the magistrate from being too large, but after the establishment, the administrative efficiency is too low. In addition, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture has been replaced very quickly. There is no general judgment in the Yamen.

As soon as Han Xiu's judge resigned, Fan Chunli fell ill again. It was completely reasonable for Gongsun Zhao to take over the power with the Queen Mother's edict.

Putting the two confessions of Han Xiu and Lu Shaoqing in front of him, Gongsun Zhao said: "Liu Langzhong, you'd better hope that there will be more criminals locked in the cell, otherwise, the serious crime of colluding with Wuyoudong will be all You bear it!"

Liu Langzhong was stunned for a moment, and then let out a miserable smile: "The cold-faced judge really deserves his reputation, well... I will cooperate with you!"

As soon as Han Xiu and Lu Shaoqing confessed, he was forced to a dead end, denying that it was useless, no matter how the follow-up develops, the three of them are absolutely finished.

For the current plan, only by involving more officials and further expanding the situation can there be a turning point.

Therefore, the Xingbu Langzhong, who had the strongest psychological defense, was the fastest to confess.

……

When the testimonies of these three people were put in front of Yiniang, the madam who was not in the officialdom but dealt with the officialdom all day could not help but gasp: "You interrogated so many...do you want to shake the world? "

Gongsun Zhao looked at her calmly: "It's just to clarify Yuyu, cleanse the world, and restore peace to Bianjing! I am the judge of the Kaifeng government office, so I should do this!"

The two stared straight at each other for a moment, and Yiniang suddenly laughed, and changed into a Jianghu tone: "You are a hero, I admire you! My old lady is dead anyway, if I can go on the road with a group of scholar-bureaucrats, it will not be in vain. Go around the world!"

……

With the four key indictments in hand, the sky outside also darkened, but Gongsun Zhao didn't intend to rest for a moment.

He knew very well that he would not have much time, so he had to race against time to take down more people and get more ironclad evidence before the powerful and powerful who had offended their interests counterattacked!
So ever.

When a certain speech officer died sadly and unwillingly, a team with high morale who worked overtime all day was ready again.

Everyone's eyes were blazing with flames. Looking at the Kaifeng judge who was finally proud and strict in enforcing the law, he heard the order:
"Let's go! Catch the murderer and the thief!"
